Description

A sloping dromos cut into pale soil leads down to a rock-cut tomb entrance, which is partly filled by large stones. The stones sit in the dark opening, and a few bones or fragments lie loose on the floor of the cutting at the bottom right. Grass and small stones edge the excavated cutting.
